Those who have shown themselves to be good community members through their past contributions have earned our good will, and we will be especially eager to help them and collaborate with them.

On the contrary, we are lucky to have a community that helps complete strangers, including many who post anonymously.

- **Report issues and submit changes in the right places:** The Gitter rooms are good places to ask questions and discuss things. However, if you’re submitting a more formal report, we’d prefer that you submit it to the appropriate GitHub issue tracker, so that it doesn’t get overlooked. Likewise, if you see that something in the documentation should be changed, don’t simply point it out in a discussion venue. Instead, [submit the change](https://github.com/MISP/misp-book/contributing.md). - **Report issues and submit changes in the right places:** The Gitter rooms are good places to ask questions and discuss things.

Beyond this, users should not expect any specific action from the moderation team. Specifically, users should not request that posts or messages be deleted or edited by a moderator.

- **Suggestions:** We are generally open to hearing suggestions for new features. Our roadmap is based on requests from people who use MISP. However, it is rather unlikely that we will change our schedule in order to accommodate an individual request. If there’s a particular feature you’d like to see in MISP, a much more effective way to make it happen is to [contribute a patch]() that implements it. We happily accept such contributions, provided they meet our standards. Please note, however, that it’s always a good idea to field a discussion of your idea on the [MISP/MISP Gitter room](https://gitter.im/MISP/MISP) or by creating a GitHub issue before putting in a lot of hard work on something that we may not be able or willing to accept. - **Suggestions:** We are generally open to hearing suggestions for new features.

To be clear, GitHub issues is not a replacement for the [MISP/Support](https://gitter.im/MISP/Support) room. This is simply an additional place for discussion. Certain types of discussions naturally lend themselves more to GitHub issues or to forums, and different types of users prefer different venues. We’ve heard from some users who find the Gitter to be a bit intimidating or who may feel that their message may get lost in the thousands of messages. Others want more selective control over topic notifications. Some users simply appreciate the ability to add a “reaction” to a message instead of having to add an entirely new reply. Whatever your reasons, it’s up to you to decide where and how you want to join the conversation.
